Troubled ChildhoodFinal Words "I'd just like to say I'm sailing with the rock, and I'll be back like Independence Day, with Jesus June 6. Like the movie, big mother ship and all, I'll be back." In 1986, before her murders took place, Aileen Wuornos met Tyria Moore at a local bar.

Moore was suspicious of Aileen but never fully discovered the truth at the time.

She proved vital when police wanted a confession out of Wuornos.Tyria Moore Police arrested Wuornos in 1991 and using Tyria Moore, she confessed to murdering seven men.Confession and Trial Psychological ProfileAileen Wuornos had borderline personality disorder and felt easily abandoned. She most likely derived these feelings from her mother's abandonment and father's suicide. Other symptoms include delusions, intense but unstable relationships, and an unstable lifestyle. She killed her victims because she believed they had raped her or were beginning to. She also fell in love with Tyria Moore even though the pair constantly fought. Although she tried to move away from prostitution her credentials never gave her a steady job until she moved back to it.

Aileen Wuornos also had anti-social disorder. She easily mistrusted people and never felt like she fit in. Though most label her as a "man-hating" lesbian she hated people in general.

Aileen also may have suffered from depression during her final years alive. She constantly talked about wanting someone to kill her and was in a "good-mood" the day before her execution. She might have had slight psychosis; however, she fired her lawyers who tried to say she was crazy and many state she wasn't.
